About Me
I participated in the You(th) Lead event in 2025, and listening to and meeting the students, hearing about their stories and journeys, truly inspired me to get involved.
​
Signing up for this wasn’t an easy or immediate decision. There was a significant amount of nerves and reticence at first and stepping into the ring is well outside my comfort zone. However, I realized that real growth and real impact only happens when you’re willing to face a challenge that intimidates you. I chose to push through that hesitation because this cause deserves more than just my comfort, and I’m proud to have traded the sidelines for the chance to make a difference
Why
Who inspires you everyday?
I think future versions of myself inspire me. I try and grow, always in all ways, consciously looking for ways to be a better Me than I was yesterday. When I see in my mind a vision of that man, it pulls me to make the changes to become Him.

Inspiring Quote:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - T. Roosevelt​
